Set in the "distant future" of 1980, this 1961 sci-fi adventure stars Dean Fredericks as an astronaut sent by the government to investigate a mysterious asteroid. In short order, his spaceship gets caught in a meteor shower, his partner floats away into space, and a tractor beam pulls him down to the asteroid. But it's not until the asteroid's thin atmosphere causes him to shrink to the Lilliputian size of its inhabitants that the real fun begins. He is put on trial, becomes tangled in a love triangle, and must do battle against Solorite death ships led by a low-budget, moth-eaten monster played by Richard Kiel (best known as Bond villain "Jaws").
